If you are outside the intended audience (teens/"YA"), do not be ashamed to read and enjoy this book.
It's not heavy weight literature, but I'm enjoying it a great deal and I do find it quite intellectually stimulating. I'm 53 years old & I'm learning a lot from. It's making me think & it's enhancing my understanding of the human condition. I haven't finished it yet, and it's not above criticism, but when I'm not reading it I'm looking forward to getting back to it. It's got heart. I do think there is some wisdom to be gained by reading and thinking about it.

It is good.
I haven't read it all but I see it as serious literature but also fun to read.

fun and thought provoking
I do not see Spider Kiss as a classic or as a must read or as great literature, but I am truly enjoying it and I do find myself thinking serious thoughts about it between my reading sessions of it. Every day I look forward to finding time to check out the next chapter. It is a bit of a page turner. I think Mr. Ellison was, if I am not mistaken, a young writer when he wrote Spider Kiss, and I sense that he wanted to be like Hemingway and Fitzgerald and esp. Dashiell Hammett in that he wanted to be commercially successful but also be taken seriously as a serious artist of high artistic/intellectual aspirations. In fact, I think he wanted this novel to be a sort of homage especially to Hammett yet not be a detective novel. Sub-textually, I think Ellison's protagonist, Shelly, is a version of Mr. Ellison himself, and, if so, I respect Ellison's novel as a vehicle for self-examination. If my interpretation is correct, then Ellison deserves respect for the fact that Stag Preston is to Shelly what Shelly is to Ellison. Thus, Stag is Ellison, or at least what Ellison knows he could be. I am reminded here of Conrad's Heart of Darkness, and I applaud Ellison for that. I have not yet finished the novel, but, if you can't tell, I like it a great deal so far, and I do recommend it.
